I'm a relative newbie to the Linux/web server world, having worked with
Macs most of my life. I recently installed the Server install of Yellow Dog
Linux, with no window managers, CLI only. Everything is working pretty much
correctly, except PHP interaction with MySQL. When I tried to install
Invision Board, I got the following error‹
Fatal error: Call to undefined function: mysql_connect() in
/var/www/default/forums/sm_install.php on line 249
It means there's no support in php for mysql
I figured this meant MySQL or PHP was configured incorrectly so I installed
PhpMyAdmin to see if that would work, and I got the error message
cannot load MySQL extension,
please check PHP Configuration.
ditto
What needs to be configured? I was under the impression that MySQL support
was built into PHP now and that it needs no extension.
Yes and no. PHP has 'builtin' support for MySQL but it needs to be enabled at
compile time.
I downloaded the RPM
of PHP 4.1.2 (the latest PPC RPM available at rpmfind) and it told me it
was already installed. I then installed MySQL 3.23.41 to no effect.
So what can I do to fix this?
Try looking for an RPM with both 'php' and 'mysql' in its name. Eg for Redhat
a suitable rpm would be named: php-mysql-4.1.2-7.i386.rpm.
Hrm
I now downloaded php-mysql-4.1.2-1a.ppc.rpm from rpmfinder, and again I
get
rpm -ivh php-mysql*
Preparing...###
[100%]
package php-mysql-4.1.2-1a is already installed
(Same error with -Uvh, too)
So I suppose it's something else. Do I have to uninstall PHP first? Or,
again, could it be something wrong with the PHP configs? Is php.ini the only
config file that might need to be edited?
